Young shooters are more likely to become stewards of the shooting sports if they start with a gun that fits properly. Exactly why we crafted our standard, premium-grade stocks with a shorter length of pull, then fit them to some of our finest firearms. All compact firearms are equipped with our Adjustable Length of Pull System so that fit can be customized to youngsters as they grow, and adults requiring a shorter length of pull can tailor the compact firearms to their specific needs. The gas-operated action of the 20-gauge Model 11-87™ Sportsman® Compact makes it the ultimate light-recoiling compact shotgun.
